Bargain shopping alert. Here’s something exciting and different that I found while seeking cheap shopping sites. Trader Auction Games has a shoppers raffle where you can win prizes of up to $75 cash each month just for shopping with one or more of the shops who sponsor their site. At this early stage not many shoppers are claiming their raffle tickets, so, for the one’s who do, an entry into the shoppers raffle gives them the best odds of winning cash or other prizes of any site I have ever seen.

On delving deeper into the TAG site I learnt about their free online auctions. I’m not jesting, it really is free. How they do it is rather ingenious. They have designed their free auction so that members of the Trader Auction Games site can sell their unwanted items for points to other members, as members accumulate more points, they then trade up by bidding those points for bigger and better auction items. Members can even use their TAG points to bid on several money auctions. Trust me when I say that they bid TAG points to win an auction of real money up to $100 or more in value. These guys aren’t kidding when they say they have a free Internet auction.

Some of the items available in the auction at the time I looked included money, books, clothes, CD’s, DVD’s, perfume, make-up, gift vouchers for stores like Walmart, Avon and Mary Kay beauty products, beach towels, jewellery, baseball collectors cards, toys and other stuff too numerous to mention. It appears to me that Trader Auction Games is trying to be a one-stop shop and doing a very good job of it.

As well as the above, the TAG City has a sweepstakes where winners are drawn every few hours. Gifts, prizes, whatever you want to call them, include cash and other sponsored items from participating businesses. Once again Trader Auction Games has stepped outside of the box in developing their random prize draw or sweepstakes. The Trader Auction Games site guarantees that all members will be chosen to win prizes or gifts in the TAG City random members prize draw every 2days. Winners are drawn in blocks based on the first letter of their first name. So, all the people whose names start with the letter F may be drawn this time, then 2 hours later all the members whose first names start with L may be drawn and so on until every letter in the alphabet has been drawn. It takes two days and then it begins over again. There is of course a catch and that is that you only have 2 hours to claim your prize once your name has been drawn. You can win up to $500 cash in the TAG City sweepstakes.

I rate the Trader Auction Games site five stars when it comes to shopping, games, competitions and free fun.
